Floats, antique cars, bands and majorettes from Sarnia, Stratford and Toronto joined local entries to make the parade a colorful two-hour event The streets were filled with the sounds of marching music as Sarnia's Lions Band, the London and Woodstock Midland- ers. Drum and Bugle Band and the Exeter Legion Pipe Band played for the parade. The floats depicted Exeter's early days; Blacksmiths with forge and anvil; women at quilt- ing bees and churning butter, and horse-drawn carriages carry- ing residents in centennial costumes. One area couple, Mr. and Mrs. David Mack, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary by riding in a Model T Ford in the parade. The Exeter Dutch Commun- ity honoured the Canadian Leg- ion with its float of Dutch danc- ers, windmills and flowers drawn by an army jeep filled with Exeter Canadian Legion, Branch 16'7, members. The Dutch mes- sage, printed on the side of the float, thanked Canadians for liberating the Netherlands in the Second World War. Although rain started to fall just as the parade began, a large crowd lined the streets to see the town's history played out before them. The sun broke through the clouds just as the parade finish- ed and continued to shine on the official ceremonies at Exeter Community Park where the centennial was officially open- ed by Senator Richard. Sunbury (L - Ontario) a former resident of Exeter, Senator Stanbury read a letter of greetings sent by Mayor O.C. Toser of Exeter, England, and pronounced the eight-day centennial officially open.

Tuckey, W.G. Cochrane, R.E. Pooley and Elrod Simmons. A skydiving demonstration by the Hamilton Sport Parachute Club continued the day's events until the chicken barbecue was ready. B yfield council (by Milvena Erickson) Regular Council meeting for the Village of Bayfield was held on Monday evening, July 2, when councillors learned of a shortage of manpower for en- umerators for the assessment to begin September 4. Anyone interested is asked to call the village clerk or the regional assessment office, Napier St., Goderich. The Assessment Of- fice is also preparing a list of canine owners for the municip- alitie's reference. A letter from Bert Mundt, was received with a request that his property be re -zoned from developmental to residential, as he would like to build a cottage. A letter was written to Don Jeffs accepting his offer of a needs manpower vapour unit for testing purposes, to see if these street lights prove as satisfactory as advert- ised. These units would cut costs, if satisfactory. Interim approval was granted to Carson -Elliott Marina, lots 201, 202, and 203, plan 5, Mill property, to operate a Marina until formal rezoning is approv- ed. This request is to be made to the council on a yearly basis.

Look at expansion (continued from page 1) the counties and regions of Ontario, the Ontario Association of Homes for the aged, Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell, calling for petitioning of the Minister of Community .and Social Service Rene Brunelle to allow any exc- ess income of estended care resident to be applied against any arrears of maintenance. In connection with this request the Board of Management noted that at the present time, a number of extended care resid- ents receive monthly income in excess of their comfort allow- ance of $35 and the cost of maintenance of $4. per day. Some of these residents, the Board explained, owe a consid- erable amount for arrears of maintenance which was built up prior to becoming eligible for extended care benefits. The committee felt this excess revenue should be used to reduce the amount of monies owing and therefore recommend- ed the resolution which Council supported. Council also approved the letting of tenders for the supply of milk, butter and ice cream to Huronview for one year com- mencing May 1, 1973 as•recom- OPEN NEW POST OFFICE (by Milvena Erickson) The official take-over insp- ection of the new post office in Bayfield, was completed Wed- nesday afternoon, June 20, when the .contractor, Wayne Smith of Smith Construction, Seaford), officially handed over the keys to the Department of Public Works.
